If you had, I'd be pretty surprised!





Yup, a full blown plant in my headlight!!

How strange, yet also pretty cool. Have fun getting it out. I mean if you're pulling the light apart anyway sounds like a good excuse to do an hid projector conversion.

Keep it there for a while and see how big it will grow. Complete the other side with a fish inside.

Have you not used the light much? I would imagine the heat given off by the light would be too hot for a plant to survive. But a nice leaky, moist, sunny environment. It's like a perfect terrarium.

X2 on the gold fish in the other side.

The sediment line on the headlight is where the water line was while my rover sat (stuck) in a river for 5 days. I drilled a pin whole to let the water out but as you can see it's still full of what is apparently fertile grounds. The truck has been sitting in my driveway for months not moving. I'replaced the MAF (x3), AIC, TPS, CPS, Plugs, Filter, Main intake hose, fuel pump, fuel rail, and more.. It just starts and stalls. Sometimes it'll idle rough for an hour but once I hit the gas it stalls. It became way to time consuming so she's sat for quite some time before I figure what to do with it. I tried to replace the ECU but didn't know you need the dash and other parts to do that job. I'll get around to it sometime but I like the idea of a fish tank on the other light!!

Didn't know a plant could survive in Blinker Fluid. I haven't tried silicone yet. Is that what you used?

Its like a self made terrarium!
Only thing it needs is Sunlight. Add a few snails and you could have a little bio system all to yourself.

This is the most green friendly truck ever!
